Notes

My long-carrier-project is finally off my needles!

I love the contiguous method, the pleats on the shoulders and in the back- not so much on the sides.

Mods:
I used as usual one number needle less on WS to knit evenly on the body.

Changed needles to 4mm circulars on the sleeves so match tension.
I did not make pleats on the sleeves. Started decreases after 26 cm, the decreased one st on each side of side-seam 8 times.

Yarn: a no-no I will not buy again.
Too soft and squishy. AND I had to cut yarn 1 - 4 times in each skein (!) because the yarn was not evenly spun. I would expect a big company as Rowan to avoid putting such low quality yarn on the market and sell it as pricy as they do.
The positive thing about this yarn : the beautiful colour!


Swatched in February 2013 :)
